Should I buy a Nicula or a celestron, I'm going to do bird watching and I'm looking for something not that expensive.
This is my first time buying binoculars. I found out that 8x42 is good. I want something solid. Should I buy another brand?

Every brush I buy ends up splaying out, and I hate it. I thought I was buying cheap brushes, so I asked my teacher and got high-quality ones. I clean them with white soap after every use and make sure not to leave them in water, and still this happens. Why is this happening, and how can I reshape my brushes? I can't take it anymore
In this photo, I had to force her out of the cage—I do that every time. I don’t know her exact age, but she’s probably around 2 years old or older. She never wants to fly. I open the cage door, her mate flies out, but she never does. She’s been like this since I got her(1,5 year ago). Because of this, her flying ability is very poor—she bumps into walls, flies low, and lands on the nearest spot. To get her out of the cage, I have to physically take her out. Previously, I trained her with exercises to the point where she could fly about 7 laps around the living room (although she still didn’t want to come out on her own). When I weighed her, she was 52 grams. She lives in the same cage as her mate and eats the same seed mix (her mate is healthy). I don’t have another cage or the money to take her to a vet. She has never laid eggs.
